I attempted to run the raspbian version of the script on the latest Raspberry OS (64bit Bullseye)
It appears several dependencies are broken for just about everything. It also broke networking.:(

Hello,
I sometimes fell too stupid reinventing the wheel.
Synchronizing time on the RPI does not need any extra external GPS module. Everyone owns a very accurate clock : one's mobile phone.
Just plug it to the RPI, set access point active to usb mode, wait a few seconds and the RPI clock is synchronized !
Sigh!

An RTC is more convenient.

Sure, but plugging the phone just the time the clock synchronizes is no pain and will make me happy if I am not able to use the external GPS module - or if it does not reach my mailbox.By the way, I still could not solve the offscreen disply problem, and this I find really annoying.
Here you can see what display with HDMI attached, and there with no display attached
1920x1080 vs (I guess) 1024x768, a very huge difference.:evil:

This works !
I must have missed this.
And, yes, remotely controlling it from VNC is very slow. I wish I could install kstars on android, but I read everywhere it is not possible.
Many thanks.

Hello,
I had to reinstall from scratch due to a faulty SD-Card.
I (think I) did everything as I did once, but obviously it is not the case : I cannot connect with vnc anymore.
I cannot se what I could have missed, and what to focus on.
The password is the same for everything but wifi - thus I cannot be wrong.
Is there a way to fix this without having to reinstall everything ?
I did some settings which i would like not to lose.
Edit : OK, I think I found my mistake. I am currently restarting from zero, so I hope I can come back and confirm in 4~5 hours.
Rgrds,
J.-Luc

Got it !
Stupid me : for some unknown reason, I systematically launched setupAstroPi3.sh instead of setupUbuntuSBC.sh :-(
In fact, after the first install, I kept a copy of the important files and folders : .conkyrc, config.txt, .config, .indi, .local and .ZWO.
Then I made a batch that would allow me to reinstall with no effort.
This is where I typed the wrong script name, so everytime I did it again it was the wrong way.
It took three days to realize. I suddenly remembered that my first install did not use RealVNC, whereas it was running in my further attempts.
So, all is running fine again now and I am happy. But feeling really like Wile E. Coyote when he realizes that he is getting caught by the trap he had set for the Road-Runner.
Now, I have to make my GPS module synchronize the clock. Some more hunting.
